Chapter 248 Mr. Ran



Liu Xuewen smiled bitterly, "There are no teachers in the school who can teach her, and she doesn't want to skip a grade."

"I'll ask her about her plans later. You go down and move the things!"

Zhou Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at the people around Liu Xuewen. Doesn’t this director have any real work to do?

Now that we've found our way here, it seems like there's no way to escape! Anyway, no one should force themselves to do something they don't want to do.

Liu Xuewen helped carry the bag to Room 201. After putting it down, he asked, "What did you buy? It's so heavy."

Tian Li wiped his sweat, "She buys all sorts of things. She even plans to take you with her to pick up things the day after tomorrow!"

"Sister Tian! Not only did you show your affection in front of me, you also sold me out right in front of me."

Tian Li just smiled and said nothing, and her younger sister just complained a little.

Liu Xuewen nodded, "Okay, go ahead, I should buy you some gifts."

Zhou Xiang rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, "Ouch! Why did I suddenly feel cold?"

Tian Li pulled her, "Let's go! Stop being weird. Was that person looking for you? He seemed to be the director of the Education Bureau!"

Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes, "If you're being nice to me for no reason, it's definitely not good!"

"Why are they being so attentive?"

"Humph! A high-ranking director personally comes to visit a student from the countryside like me. If that's not courting me, what is it?"

"You're using the wrong words. Why don't you say he's hands-on or approachable?"

"Brother-in-law, Sister Tian praised someone else."

Liu Xuewen immediately walked to Tian Li and looked at her with expectant eyes.

Tian Li pushed him away, "Oh! Hurry up, you two are just showing off."

The three of them arrived at Room 307. Zhou Xiang saw that the old man was there too, so he quickly walked over to him and said, "Oh! The old man is here? Come on, it's almost noon now, I'll take you to eat."

The old man raised his eyelids and said, "I've been waiting for you all morning. Other students are reviewing and memorizing, but you're the only one wandering around."

Zhou Xiang looked around the room and said, "Where are the other students? Besides, sharpening your sword before a battle won't speed things up. A balance between work and rest is the right approach."

"Okay, enough rambling. Let me ask you, did you come up with the ideas in your composition?"

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Of course, it's not my idea. Can I write it?"

"So, do you have any other ideas about technology?"

Zhou Xiang plopped down next to him. "Don't you think my idea is too far-fetched? Current technology is just in its infancy. I don't think my idea will be realized until humanity is extinct. I'm just imagining the distant future."

"Do you have any other fantasies?"

"There are so many, but I'm hungry, dizzy, and my mind goes blank."

The old man stood up and said, "Okay, let's go eat. We'll talk after dinner."

Liu Xuewen wanted to take them out to eat, but the old man was unwilling, "Let's eat in this cafeteria. You can eat, why can't I?"

Helpless Liu Xuewen saw Zhu Tuo go to the canteen kitchen to give instructions.

So there were three tables for lunch.

Zhou Xiang, Tian Li, Liu Xuewen, Zhu Tuo, Ran Qiming and Old Man Ran sat at a table.

The old man ate with gusto, "I haven't eaten in the cafeteria for a long time. The atmosphere is different."

Ran Qiming smiled. His father was lonely. His eldest brother's family might not come home once a month. There were only his father and mother at home. He would go home to rest at night and try not to go home during the day because his mother was always urging him to get married.

After my father retired from his busy job, he and my mother often quarreled and had to go to the park to relax.

When Zhao Yujie and Yu Jinlan saw Zhou Xiang sitting at the director's table, they felt even more jealous and resentful.

Zhao Yujie turned around and said to Yang Yang behind her, "Aren't you from the same place as Zhou Xiang? Why didn't she take you with her?"

When Yang Yang heard the voice behind him, he answered directly without turning his head. His voice was neither loud nor soft, so that people at the two tables next to him could hear it.

"The director is here for Zhou Xiang. It's useless for you to be jealous because you are not qualified. I know myself well, so don't try to stir up trouble. It's ugly, your heart!"

Zhao Yujie's face turned red with shame. These country people are just so impolite.

Everyone at the table looked at each other. Although he was answering Zhao Yujie, he was also speaking for everyone to hear.

Those who were envious before now lowered their heads in shame, and those who were jealous are still jealous, or even hateful, like Zhao Yujie.

After dinner, Zhou returned to Room 307 and looked at the old man who was staring at him.

He said helplessly, "No matter how beautiful my imagination is, it is still just imagination. I can't do it with my current strength."

"You tell me, and I listen, just like listening to a story."

Zhou wanted to know, if he didn't deal with him well, it would be difficult to get rid of him. Didn't he want to hear the story?

You can’t imagine how big the imagination of later generations is.

Zhou Xiang talked about the interstellar wormhole armor spacecraft in detail, and finally sighed, "I want to build a spacecraft like that and explore the starry sky to see if there are other interstellar civilizations."

The old man was fascinated by what he heard. After hearing Zhou Xiang's final words, he sighed and said, "It's probably as difficult as your time machine."

Ran Qiming, Liu Xuewen and Tian Li were also fascinated by what they heard. Yang Yang, who came in after dinner, had a gleam in his eyes. Does such a planet really exist?

"Okay, I'm sleepy. I'm going back to my room to rest." Zhou Xiang yawned.

Ran Qiming stood up and said, "I'll go down with you. I have something to ask you in private."

Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Let's go! Let's talk downstairs. I'll give you five minutes."

The two of them walked to the courtyard downstairs, and Ran Qiming said bluntly, "Those two items are very important to the deputy director. I know you put them away. What conditions do you want in order to return them to their original owner?"

Zhou Xiang's sleepiness disappeared immediately. "Why do you think I put the things away?"

"Because of your calmness, your confidence, and the fact that you managed to finish the test quickly in time."

Zhou Xiang gave him a thumbs-up. "You're awesome! You're worthy of being the youngest director. But, on what basis? If I hadn't hidden the things at the time, I wouldn't have been able to defend myself. Who could have proven my innocence? Who could have run around for me afterwards? Even if it was Liu Xuewen, could he be more powerful than the deputy director?"

You came to me in person to ask for something for the sake of the deputy director, for Wu Man's mother, and for your job as director.

Then let me ask you, how was Wu Man dealt with? How was her mother dealt with? How was the deputy director dealt with for disrupting the exam room?

They must be fine and have been treated with respect. If I had been caught red-handed, who would have treated me with respect?

You? Will you?

No, you won't. You can't disappoint your subordinates, and you can't unconditionally trust me, an outsider.

If I were the child of a high-ranking official, would you still ask me for things?
